In your OP, the last query..you said that you'll lose root once you update your phone...it usually depends on the way how you updated your phone, i mean thru OTA or PCC? If thru PCC you will definitely lose root, in OTA there is a way to keep root though. Tried it on my SP and works flawlessly:good:

How? with an app, or just let it update?

Might work on firmwares with same android version...i don't know if this works on latest 4.3. Coz we came from 4.1 and this method only works if you updated your phone via OTA. With the rolling of updates, its possible only via PCC and updating thru this method will definitely lose root access.

Yes, you can back-up root to temporarily un-root your phone when updating wiith Voodoo OTA rootkeeper. Then restore root after your phone has booted to the new FW installed.

I thought voodoo rootkeeper didn't support 4.3 ... And won't work at all with a PCC update because it reinstalls the whole /system

    Backup and Restore app in your phone will not work with the backups you have made on 4.1.2 once you get 4.3 . I had the leak 4.3 installed and it said those backups are not compatible. The PC Companion backup worked fine.

    yup because it other version...it possible to restore

    btw you can use titanium backup
